Hi! I’m Eli -
So glad you’re here.
I’ve always had a knack for two things: 1) breaking the rules and 2) making people feel like they belong.
After founding and scaling the internationally acclaimed social wellness brand Drunk Yoga®, I discovered that the key to creating engaging, memorable live experiences is to harness the power of play. Enter: The Uplift Center—(Drunk Yoga® 2.0, if you will)—my dedicated resource hub for belonging-building tools and experiences.
From facilitating workshops in boardrooms at Barclays to immersive yoga pop-ups for Porsche, my mission is to empower you to create connection in any environment through engaging, human-centered events.
